Germany's Roller Coaster

 
If you ever move to Germany and are missing the roller coaster ride at 'Six Flags', I have two options for you.  Option one-drive on the autobahn down to the Southern tip of the Black Forest…while trying to keep up with your ‘speed racer’ husband in the front car.  Option two-follow that same speed racer over the roads that wind thru the Black Forest, have  hairpin turns, few guard rails, and many areas with NO SPEED LIMIT?!?!?  I just don’t remember experiencing this sort of ‘Sunday drive’ in the U.S.  The scenery was magnificent and terrifying all wrapped into one.  I am happy to announce we are now home safe and sound. 

I am not sure where to even start in terms of documenting such a tremendous weekend.  So I resort to basic mathematics-
Family headed on vacation (enough for two cars)+
Black Forest +
Hotel on the Titisee +
3 children +
3 (plus) German Beers +
COLD brisk air +
Shopping for Cuckoo clocks +
Fashing parades +
Hiking around Germany’s highest Waterfall in Triber +
Eating many Wursts +
Eating many a few peices of Black Forest Cake +
Riding up the mountain on the Historic Schauinsland cable car +
Riding the zip line +
Indoor pool & sauna +
Touring Frieburg +
Kids on sugar ‘high’ from eating candy thrown from parade +
All done in 2 ½ days=Tired people going to bed now



Even Xavier managed the hike
